问题     Hazel asks how one can stay healthy working the hours I’ve been working. Here’s one thing that helps: don’t do it forever! My work is always more than forty hours a week, but these periods of never stopping and sleep deprivation don’t go on for very long at a time. The last five weeks or so have been particularly busy, and the last two before a major vote especially so.
    Most organizers, under the pressure, resort to bad coping mechanisms like overeating, smoking, or drinking too much. It’s so easy to think that a quick fix like that will make you feel better, when in the long run it makes you feel worse. I found that keeping low calorie really helped me maintain my mental focus in the last days. There’s something about eating just on the lighter side of what I really need that makes me calmer and sharper.
    Planning is really the key. We made the appetizing muffins over the July 4th weekend, and they were really a health-saver in these last two weeks. Being able to pull a 275 calorie package of perfectly zoned yum-miness out of the freezer, engineered to have 27% of the RDA(Recommended daily allowance)of everything, made grabbing healthy food in a hurry easy. I had appetizing muffins for breakfasts on most days with such toppings as hot sauce, mustard, and fat free cream cheese. I really enjoy this little bread, so I felt like I was feasting instead of feeling deprived. Since my husband packs my lunch time salad, filled with an amazing array of greens that pack a nutritional punch along with pumpkin seeds for zinc and fat and eggwhites for protein, I had lunches taken care of. And I was lucky enough to be working in a place that has a convenient subway, so subway salads and low carb wraps were always available. Subway can really be a blessing to the health conscious on the run.
    The good news is: WE WON!!! And we won big. 272 votes for us, 128 for the other union, and only 19 for no union at all. It was a fight up until the end, including threats of violence from the other union. Don’t worry, Mommies and Daddies out there. I was very careful never to be alone anywhere, I am being extra cautious. Our leaders inside the hospital were under a ton of pressure as they got attacked by both management and the other union, but so many of their co-workers were supportive that they held up beautifully. Now they finally have a chance to negotiate a contract that gets them the kind of salaries, benefits and working conditions they deserve. It’s about time.
    I’m off to a meeting to plan next steps... the fun never ends!
"Mommies and Daddies out there" were worried
选项 A、about the author’s personal safety.
B、that the author’s union would fail in the election.
C、about the opposition in the hospital.
D、that the author couldn’t get through the pressure.
答案A
解析 从第4句和第6句的内容可以推断Mommies and Daddies担心作者的安全，因此本题应选A。其他选项都与作者参与的选举活动有关，但从关键词Mommies and Daddies在文中所处的位置来看，他们的担心只与作者本身有关，与其他选项的关系不如与A的关系密切。
